A Winter Storm

Storm clouds gather.

Violent winds carry
rain and snow away
from their typical path.
Rain hitting at an
unspeakable geometric angle.
Snow flipping, turning,
indecisive on where to land.
A man stands with
nothing but a thin
coat separating him
from the harsh elements.
A shiver rolls through
him like the thunder
piercing his ears.
His eyes, livid with a
determination unseen in most.
Around him the rain
and snow fall relentlessly.
Above him thunder
and lightning pound
away at the sky.
The man trudges onward,
through the inclement
weather, pressing forth
to the faint glimpse
of yellow in his path.
